WHAT IT DOES RE CTPF

HIGHLIGHTS OF ACT

Demands "pension parity" for Chicago

Public Schools, meaning the state would
take on CPS' normal pension costs. The
state already pays teacher pensions for all
other school districts.

Sets the tone for upcoming session, making it clear that Dems
want a formula change. Republicans perceive this as a threat that
Dems will block any budget proposal to get a new school funding
reform.
Fully funds the current formula; Chicago Public Schools retain
their Block Grant

Has the state take on CPS' normal

pension costs.

Establishes a system of weights added to funding base; removes

part of CPS' Block Grant.
